I was recently able to review some of my favorite eco-friendly lotions ever! They are made by the Cream Perfume Company . I would like you to know a little bit about The Cream Perfume Company. Typically I write about the company, in my own words, but they said everything I would have wanted to but better.

It is believed Egyptians were the first people to incorporate perfumes (primarily natural incense and ointments) into their culture around 3000bc. The methods of extracting natural scents, although primitive by comparison, were technically not much different than they are today. Perfumes were often mixtures of oil and crushed petals or herbs until the Arabs later learned to extract oils from flowers through the process of distillation.

Strolling the cobbled streets of Grasse, past cafes, the Notre Dame du Puy cathedral and the 12th-century bishop's palace, a visitor would find it hard to imagine that this medieval Provencal town has assumed the mentorship role associated with today's billion-dollar perfume industry. With soil and climate that are perfect for fields of jasmine, tuberose and hyacinth, perfume has a long and storied history in Grasse.

Their perfumed body moisturizers are 100% vegan, wheat and gluten free, contain no glycol, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, silicones, synthetic additives or synthetic fragrances. One thing that I love most is the fact that they focus on environmentally friendly packaging and overall eco-value.

My absolute favorite product they sent me for review is their Lavender Lotion. It is so rich, thick and luxurious. I love the natural lavender smell so much. Let me tell you, it works wonders on my super dry skin! I massage Dexter with this heavenly lotion after each bath (before bedtime). Lavender is known for it's calming properties so I know it helps lull Dexter into a state of sleeping bliss.

The Cream Perfume Company also sent me some Solid Perfumes. I never wear perfume these days because of the lack of ingredient disclosure. With the Cream Perfume Company, you know all the products that they use that you happen to be rubbing on your skin. The Organic Vanilla Reve smells sooo good and it happens to be 100% organic. It smells lovely and I love how subtle it is. Even my husband commented on how much he liked it. I once read somewhere that men are aroused by the smell of vanilla because it reminds them of baking. I am sure this came from Cosmo or something but I know it to be true. When I wore this, I had many compliments at work, mostly from my male colleagues!
